December marked the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 17 mission and mankind’s last steps taken on the moon. Since that mission, a frozen vault in Houston, TX has preserved the original NASA photographic film of all of the Apollo missions and almost every publicly available image of the Moon landings has been produced from a low-quality copy of the frozen originals.

For the last several years, NASA image restorer Andy Saunders has been hard at work, taking newly available digital scans and applying pain-staking care and cutting-edge enhancement techniques to create the highest quality Apollo photographs ever produced. Never-before-seen spacewalks and crystal-clear portraits of astronauts in their spacecraft, along with startling new visions of the Earth and the Moon, offer astounding new insight into one of our greatest endeavors.
